Periodically, part of a death register will be shown on one image and part on another image.

If the image is of the right side of the register, index the Image Type as a No Extractable Data Image. Any extractable information will be indexed with the previous image. Click here to see an example of a page with extractable data. The page on the right side of the register may not always contain extractable data. Click here to see a page with no extractable data.

If the image is of the left side of the register, index each record, using data from both images. Click here to see an example of the left side of a register. To view the next image while continuing to see and index information for the current image:

On the menu bar at the top of the screen, click View.

Click Show Previous or Next Image.

In the window that appears, click Next Image.

Index any pertinent information from the next image, ignoring the warning “Do not index from this window.”

Order of Indexing

If an image contains more than one index card, index the cards from left to right and then from top to bottom.

If an image contains more than one primary person's death you will need to create an additional record to index the additional primary person(s). Do NOT create additional records for the spouse or children of the deceased even if death dates are given. If the record type is "other" and records a separate event for another person, create an additional record. Click here to see an example of when you'd need to add a record.
